SRS receives a lot of negativity from MRA on reddit, and probably lots of downvotes when they post out in the non-SRS/MRA subreddits, but let's look at some facts.
1.) SRS never presents coherent rational arguments. They merely spew memes and ad hominem attacks on anyone and everyone they can.
2.) They don't downvote, and oftentimes they upvote. This hasn't always been true, but over time SRS has evolved away from being a "downvote brigade" and has tried to "showcase" the "poop" as they put it. This leaves the posts they despise and their replies prominently visible within the thread's comments.
3.) If you look at the types of things that SRS picks to go after, it is often so non-offensive, or so clearly in jest, that they look, well... crazy and ridiculous.
As a result of this, SRS and their raids -- even on the occasion where they're actually right about something -- does little more than piss off the rest of reddit. Leaving, as one SRSister put it:
If anything, SRS main subreddit is leaving "Greater Reddit" with a foul taste for progressivism by tainting it with radical feminism. I'd go so far to say that SRS is actually anti-progressive.
Now, we all know that in the beginning SRS was nothing more than an SA troll attempt. But then it garnered the support of actual "activists" and became a semi-legitimate movement. However, we can see that over time they have become more and more extreme, more and more outlandish and offensive, eventually resulting in what we've got now, which I described above.
I would assert that MRA trolls have infiltrated SRS and worked their way into the upper echelons of the SRS movement, encouraging the level of extremism that would push most redditors (and more people in general) away from their stated causes. Thus, becoming the greatest recruiting tool that MRA has ever seen.
I would thus ask, that MRA stop combating and downvoting SRS in other subreddits. Please upvote them to showcase their claimed ideas. This will garner support for our goals much more than fighting them ever could.
tl;dr: SRS is an MRA troll organization designed to illustrate how vile and ridiculous the opposing viewpoints is. Tag them in RES and upvote away!
